Antonio has a vision of Isabella and she tells him to protect Jessica from Tico or he will destroy her. Antonio tells Sonia about his vision of Isabella and that Isabella tells him that Tico is responsible for killing her. Sonia doubts that Tico had anything to do with his mother's death because he loved and worshiped Isabella. Antonio doesn't believe that Jessica will go through with her marriage with Tico until Natalie tells him that the wedding is happening today.

Paul finds a xxx tape in Rex's apartment labeled "Lindsay UV XXX." Paul steals the tape and brings it to Jen. He blackmails Jen to come up with fifty thousand dollars or risk his putting the tape on the internet and thereby making Lindsay Llanview's most popular pornstar. Lindsay stops by Rex and asks him to swear he did not send Paul to steal from her. Rex denies any involvement. Shannon talks with Roxy about her suspicion that Paul may have gotten Rex into trouble.

John asks Van to meet him at the country club because he has something for her. He ties a string around her wrist to symbolize that he's ready to go beyond the "no strings attached" that they both spoke of previously. He wants to move forward and thinks they should share things they like with each other. Going in that direction, he has tickets for them for the upcoming Eagles game. Van enthusiastically accepts and they move on to Rodi's for decent drinks.

Viki and Carlotta chat about Jamie, Antonio and Jess and the issues surrounding them. Viki only hopes that Jess does not do anything rash.

At Rodi's, Nat attempts to soothe Antonio and demands privacy when Sonia arrives. She tries to remind him that he's like the Vegas and how Cris always looked up to him, but he in turn reminds her that Cris is no longer there. He vows to prove who Tico really is. Paul calls Jen and threatens to use the tape of Lindsay. Rex comes by to see if Paul has the money, but learning that he doesn't, he refuses to help him get it. He also refuses to help Paul fence a pair of earrings. Van thinks that John should speak with Antonio who is not looking very well, but John tells her that he's cut himself off from everyone that he knows.

Tico tries to make love to Jess but obviously unhappy and uncomfortable, she pushes him away. She wants to get away for a honeymoon but he is unable to. When she offers to have the marriage annulled, he advises her that he'll wait for her, no matter how long it takes. He takes a call from the governor and tells him how happy he is to be a part of the Buchanan family. There will be an election day that will not be forgotten, he continues. All is going according to plan. He also pledges another million dollars to the women's heart research fund.

Sonia meets R.J. at the diner, advises him the case is closed involving the murder victim, and tries to learn if R.J. knows anything of El Tiburon. He's only concerned with picking up his granddaughter. Carlotta asks Sonia to deliver a message to Antonio; his daughter needs and misses him.

Nat gets back to Llanfair and inadvertently tells Viki of Jess' marriage. When Jess arrives, Nat takes off with a box of her things as a tearful and shocked Viki confronts her daughter. She doesn't understand at all, knowing that Jess loves Antonio and questions her feelings for Tico. Jess can only relate how Tico treats her and makes her feel. She knows all she needs to know about him. Viki tells her it's a mistake. Nat discovers that Paul has stolen her earrings.

A pre-occupied Dorian is unable to help David with his Craze article as she awaits a package from Mendorra. It finally arrives, on time, and she opens it to reveal a key. She has a list of banks where the Santi money may be hidden and this key will possibly open a safe deposit box in one of them. Trying to read the numbers on the key with a magnifying glass and delighting in the possibility of finding the money, they are interrupted by an eavesdropping Adriana who drops one of her school books. Swearing she didn't even know they were there, she is furious when Dorian grabs her cell phone when Duke calls. Tico stops by to announce his marriage and to try to convince Dorian to let Adriana see Duke as a friend. Dorian vehemently orders him to stay out of it, that she is Adriana's mother. She suggests he spend time with the Buchanans and his new wife. Tico switches gears, relating that $500,000 was raised at his gala. This moves David to bring up Tico's own money and it's origins. He wouldn't know anything of his father's dirty money, he reminds them, as Dorian agrees. Tico invites Adriana to dinner at his place with a secret guest.

Nat dashes into Rodi's as Van and John share a kiss, but she hardly notices as she searches for Paul. Spotting him, she demands the return of her stolen earrings. Of course he denies it, but as she grabs at him, she spots them in his pocket. She begins to beat at him, screaming, until Rex pulls her away.

Antonio receives a call from El Tiburon who tells him that he will soon receive an assignment.

Blair and Kevin make amends and call a truce. Todd, on the other hand, publishes the first edition of his new newspaper, which personally and professionally attacks him. When Blair sees the story, she walks out on Todd.

Paul's attempt to swindle money out of Viki fails. He then turns his blackmailing attention to Kelly, threatening to bring Ace's biological mother to Llanview. Fed up of him, she wishes him dead.

Matthew says he'd like to start referring to Bo as "dad." After seeing Nora and Bo's closeness, Daniel tells her she has to choose if she wants to be with him or Bo. In a way, Nora does just that when she later agrees to spend the night in Bo's guest room.
